This post was all written up, nice and done. But my computer ate it. I went all day thinking it'd posted! I am not sure why but I am determined to get this post up. I missed three days out of 30; not too shabby.
Originally the intent, whether actually stated or not is sort of beside the point now, for me was to post something every day in April, and include a poem in each post. But I was also attempting to get over to read others' blogs more in April because quite a few from the AO forum were participating. I've failed, in all three counts really. I didn't post every day. Some days I posted three in a row and scheduled them. Three days I didn't post anything {hence the three days I missed}. I also didn't get a poem in every day. Originally even if I just linked to a poem, I'd have called it good. I didn't do that either. I tried.
As for the last part, reading others' blogs: That was really what I wanted to do. I think perhaps in May I will set a new challenge for myself. Twenty-six days of reading blogs. Yeah... that sounds good!
I say "26" because I *try* to stay offline on Sunday {it doesn't always happen}.
Or maybe I'm just blogged out for the summer...
Oh, and here's the last poem for April:

Oh, and here's the last poem for April:
From Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828):
Mosquito at my ear—
does he think
I’m deaf?
A cuckoo sings
to me, to the mountain,
to me, to the mountain.
Hey, sparrow!
out of the way,
Horse is coming.
Don't worry, spiders,
I keep house
casually.
Well, I think you did pretty well! I could not have done it :)
